South Carolina outfielder signee Kyle Jacobsen announced early Wednesday afternoon that he will be attending USC instead of beginning his professional baseball career.

The Georgia native is considered by some experts to be the best player in the Gamecocks class.

He was rated as the No. 154 overall prospect for the draft by Baseball America, while MLB.com rated Jacobsen as the No. 117 overall prospect for the draft.
